Bills Promoting Solar and Renewable Energy

Virginia Governor McAuliffe has demonstrated his commitment to renewable energy by signing 11 bills that encourage the growth of solar and other renewable resources in the region. These bills encompass various aspects of renewable energy, including tax incentives, net energy metering, and expanded access to solar energy for both residential and commercial properties. The state of Virginia aims to reduce its carbon footprint and foster economic growth through these strategic legislative actions.

Net Energy Metering

One of the key bills signed by Governor McAuliffe focuses on expanding the net energy metering program in Virginia. This program enables residential and commercial solar energy system owners to receive credits for excess energy they generate and contribute back to the grid. By encouraging net metering, the state aims to incentivize individuals and businesses to invest in solar power, thereby reducing their dependence on traditional energy sources and promoting clean energy generation.

Solar Access Rights

Recognizing the importance of solar access and its benefits for Virginians, the governor signed bills that protect and improve solar access rights. These legislations eradicate potential barriers to installing solar energy systems and ensure individuals have the freedom to embrace clean energy solutions, opening doors for widespread adoption of solar power throughout the state.

Tax Incentives and Financing Support

To encourage the transition to renewable energy, the governor signed bills introducing tax incentives and financing support for individuals and businesses investing in solar and other renewable technologies. These initiatives reduce the financial burden associated with adopting cleaner energy alternatives, making it more accessible and affordable for Virginians to embrace sustainable solutions.
